Default Front axle ball joint removel tools.

Hello,

Looking to get the dynotrac ball joints, need to know what special tools are needed to remove and fit these joints.

I just installed the DynaTrac ProSteer ball joints in mine this weekend.

The adapters for the press you need can be found in the Harbor Freight Master adapter set here: www*harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=46389

You'll also need a C-Clamp press, of course.

I have the HF 4WD set; it does not have the right adapters. Also tried the loaner tool program at Advanced Auto...no luck. Had to get the "Master Set".

The DynaTrac installation sheet lists some Miller #'s
Miller Kit 6289
C-Clamp (Miller C4212F)
Press Tools (MIller 6289-1, 6289-3, 6289-4, 6289-5, 6289-12, 8975-2)

Hope that helps.

Do you have to use a press or can you get away with a vise?

I would want the C-Clamp press. The adaptors have a ring ridge that keep them from sliding out of place on you. It took a lot of force to get my old lowers out (which had only been in 6 months) and I think it would have been pretty scary with a vise. fwiw
